Honoring the Tippecanoe High School girls volleyball team on securing the 2025 Division III State Championship.

WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to the Tippecanoe High School girls volleyball team as the 2025 Division III State Champion; and

WHEREAS, The talented Tippecanoe High School girls volleyball team is, indeed, to be heartily commended for decisively earning this year’s Division III State Championship by outscoring Bloom-Carroll High School 25-19, 25-22, 24-26, 25-10. The squad’s performance, which includes compiling an undefeated 29-0 record, reflects the outstanding collective effort by a gifted group of athletes, and without exception, the team has devoted countless hours to training and practice in order to ensure peak conditioning. Clearly, this demanding regimen has paid handsome dividends; and

Despite sometimes grueling pressure, they have consistently maintained their composure and morale, exhibiting strength, speed, stamina, and agility in every challenging encounter. Time and again, the Red Devils have risen to the occasion, amply demonstrating their unflagging determination, and their impressive maturity and finesse have earned them widespread respect, even among their most formidable rivals; and

WHEREAS, By weathering a rigorous schedule and prevailing over a host of adversaries, the members of the Tippecanoe High School girls volleyball team have learned much about dedication, self-discipline, leadership, and perseverance. Their first-place finish is a measure of their stalwart commitment to the sport, and their indomitable spirit has made their families, friends, and coach, Howard Garcia, incredibly proud; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, applaud the Tippecanoe High School girls volleyball team on its brilliant 2025 season and wish its members continued success in all of their future endeavors; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Tippecanoe High School girls volleyball team.
